Screen Successes At Rylander Theatre This Week
PETER KYNE'S 'THE GO
CETTEF, ON SCREEN
At Rylander With Buster Keat-
on’s Latest Comedy,
“Day Dreams”
The breeziest and funniest of all
the Cappy Ricks stories has been
picturized by Pai'amouht and will
be shown at the Rylander theater
on Monday and Tuesday. It is Pe
ter B. Kyne’s ‘‘The Go-Getter,” and
is on the same program with Bus
ter Keaton’s latest comedy, “Day
Dreams.”
When first published some
months go Peter B. Kayne’s “The
Go-Getter” proved a Sensation, be
ing called the story that put thrills
and romance into busrness. Many
big concerns thought s.o well of it
that they purchased a copy for
every employer and claim that it
was very successful for them.
The cast of “the Go-Getter” in
cludes T. Roy Barnes. Soena Owen,
William Norris and Tom Lewis.
The story concerns Bill Ptck, a
World War veteran, who Belongs to
that class of young Americans
known as go getters. He as a lum
ber salesman with the Rileks lum
ber concern. Bill is gr ?atly at
tracted to Mary Skinner, daughter
of one of his employers and, be
ing a go-getter, inside of four hours
has placed an engagement ring on
her finger.
In Bill’s effort to make good
with Mary’s father he is forced
do all sorts of seemingly impos
sible feats, even to flagging a
train with an oil-saturated coat af
ter giving chase by airplarhe.
Every youth has day dreams,
for all youths are full of enthus
iasm—and hopes. Buster Keaton
is no exception to the rule, there
fore he decided to name his latest
comedy, “Day Dreams.”
There is nothing sadder than
failure; the greatest tragedies are
those enacted within human souls
when the realization conies that one
has failed to measure up to his
dreams. But Buster Keaton in his
inimitable way makes his failure a
laughing success in this comedy.

j'THE OREGON TIL’

An interesting story about
Abraham Lincoln is told in the third
chapter of “The Oregon Trail,
at the Rylander next Saturday.
Lincoln at the time of the Ddack
Hawk War, enlisted and was com
missioned as an oii'icer. It is said
that he wasn’t quite clear o.n some
of the commands and disciplinary
phraseology and particularly on the
method of getting a body of sol
diers through a gate. K.e solved the
problem in this one situation by
ordering* his men outride a stock
ade gate to ‘disband and fall in on
the other side.”-
Jefferson Davis as also an of
ficer in the Black Hawk Indian
War, a comrade in arms of the man
who was later to be President of
the United States, while he was t.b
be Chief of the Confederate
States.

BOOK ID PICTURE
Screen Version Shows Why “Al
ice Adams” Was Judged the
Best Novel of 1922
“Alice Adams,” which' has been
accepted everywhere as Booth T/ar
kington’s masterpiece among a col
lection of remarkable works and
which won the Pulitzer piize for
me best piece of liction written
during 19Zi!, will be the attraction
at the Rylander Theatre next Wed
nesday Florence Vidor, the beauti
ful, has the leading role.
As presented on the screen “Alice
Adams ’ is said to carry out the
fidelity of the book, in which case
it Should a humdinger as a real
i.-uq slice of the age-old impulse
keeping ifp appearances.
The locale of “Alice Adams” is
a small city of the Middle West
where the social position of a fam
ily depends largely upon how large
a bank balance the head of the fam
ily possses. But a, family is like
a business—to be successful it must
be well regulated—and the Adams
family was not. j
Virgil Adams, for twenty five
years, had plugged away at the
same job that paid a small salary.
Mrs. Adams, for twenty five years
had nagged at him and tried make
him see that it was his duty to his
children to be a success. On the
patient shoulders of Alice fell the
thankless and difficult task of
keeping peace in the family. Alice’s
life was none too happy, so out of
her active imagination she buiit a
dream future for herself of riches,
palatial homes and ardent lovers.
Therb are many Alice Adamses
in the \OlTd, as there also are many
families like the Adam’s. Booth
Tarkington has reflected life and
the screen version of the novell
does the same.
Completing the program next
Wednesday is a humorously funny
Christie comedy, “Winter Has
Came.”
Many a man is a bachelor be
cause he eats onions or because
doesn’t brush his teeth.

■ BUNTS NEW FILM
Popular Star at Rylander in Rex
Beach’s Most Popular
Novel
From Broadway to Panama—
from the gay whirl of pleasure
seekers to the feverish activity of
the canal zone. That is the course
taken by the hero in “The Ne’er-
Do-W’ell,” a course that takes him
from the depths of life to the
heights of red-hot adventure, with
love and happiness as the final
thrill.
A great author, Rex Beach one
of the screen’s most popular stars,
Thomas Meighan, and one of the
very best novels of all-time ,‘The
Ne’er-Do-Well,” combine to give the
Rylander Theatre two ’wonderful
days next Thursday and Friday.
The story concerns Kirk An
thony, the wayward son of a rail
road magnate. While carousing
with several of his associates he
meets a crook who pretends to be
a detective. This fellow suggests
to Kirk’s companions that it would
be a good joke to ship Anthony to
Panama without a cent in his
pockets. No sooner said than done.
Many are his exploits in the Ca
. nal Zone; he obtains a position on
a small railroad and finally falls
in love with a beautiful Spanish
‘ j girl. His father is curious about
' I his son’s welfare and comes down
to view the situation. Kirk intro
, duces him to his wife, and he is so
delighted at finding her very
charming that he takes them both
’ back to the States to teach them
modern railroading.
Included in cast are Lila Lee,
Gertrude Astor, John Miltern and
George O’Brien.
All the tense moments, all the
rich romance, all the splendid
heart-interest of all the Meighan
pictures are in “The Ne’er-Do-Well”
and when one remembers “The I
Miracle Man,” “Manslaughter,”
“The Bachelor Daddy” and “Back
Home and Broke,” there is some
thing to look forward to fir this pop
ular star’s 1 ..test production.
